O que saber:

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has closed its investigation into Robinhood's crypto business, the trading platform said in a statement on Monday.

"On February 21, 2025, the SEC’s Enforcement Division advised RHC in a letter that it had concluded its investigation and did not intend to move forward with an enforcement action," the company said.

The company received a Wells notice from the SEC indicating that it would recommend pursuing an enforcement action in May. A Wells notice is a formal announcement from the regulator saying it believes it has evidence that the recipient — Robinhood, in this case — broke the law.

"As we explained to the SEC, any case against Robinhood Crypto would have failed. We appreciate the formal closing of this investigation, and we are happy to see a return to the rule of law and commitment to fairness at the SEC,” said Dan Gallagher, Robinhood's chief legal, compliance and corporate affairs officer, in a statement.

The SEC is also poised to drop its case against crypto exchange Coinbase and has dropped its investigation into non-fungible token platform OpenSea.

An SEC spokesperson declined to comment.

La Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de Estados Unidos (SEC) ha cerrado su investigación sobre el negocio cripto de Robinhood, según informó la plataforma de trading en un comunicado el lunes.

"El 21 de febrero de 2025, la División de Cumplimiento de la SEC informó a RHC en una carta que había concluido su investigación y no tenía la intención de seguir adelante con una acción de cumplimiento", señaló la empresa.

Robinhood había recibido en mayo un aviso de Wells de la SEC, indicando que el regulador consideraba recomendar una acción de cumplimiento en su contra. Un aviso de Wells es una notificación formal de la SEC que indica que el regulador cree tener evidencia de que el destinatario, en este caso Robinhood, violó la ley.

"Como le explicamos a la SEC, cualquier caso contra Robinhood Cripto habría fracasado. Agradecemos el cierre formal de esta investigación y estamos felices de ver un regreso al estado de derecho y al compromiso con la equidad en la SEC", dijo Dan Gallagher, director legal, de cumplimiento y de asuntos corporativos de Robinhood, en un comunicado.

La SEC también está cerca de retirar su caso contra Coinbase y ha abandonado su investigación sobre la plataforma de tokens no fungibles OpenSea.

Un portavoz de la SEC se negó a hacer comentarios.
